Mama's Story!

Our Mama was well known throughout East St. Louis for having the best tasting soul food in the city. From her famous fried chicken to her banana pudding Mama's recipes were carefully handed down and kept secret within the family for years! No body could do it like Mama!

We couldn't wait for the holidays to roll around so we could get Mama's full phenomenal feast!

Did you know that Mama graduated from college at the age of 61? It was one of her life long dreams. She persevered through many of life's challenges but always lived by the motto "Never give up on your dreams"... And here we are today, living our dream by sharing her mouth watering cooking with all of our friends and family

Our love for authentic soul food cooking dates back to Mama's day. We share that with you now through her recipes, catering and stories. Come in and experience true rich and delicious soul food dining with us at Southern Kitchen
